Fans waiting impatiently to snatch up the latest Plum the moment it rolls out of Evanovich Land can now take the edge off their screwball romantic crime jones with Evanovich's latest heroine, co-created with Dorien Kelly: KATE APPLETON, a sort of accidental P.I. and relatively reasonable Plum facsimile. Think of her as Stephanie-lite. Dumped by her husband and recently canned from her job as a magazine editor, she reteats to her parents' old summer place, The Nutshell, in Keene's Harbor on Lake Michigan, with dreams of turning it into a B&B. Except she has zilch in the way of money to do it, and a bartending gig isn't going to cut it. So she agrees to go undercover at a local brewery to find out who's behind a string of vandalism, on behalf of hunky beermeister Matt Culhane. Twenty grand is twenty grand, after all. And how dangerous could it be, really? That's the premise for Love in a Nutshell (2012), the first in this proposed series, and if it doesn't quite Janet Evanovich is, of course, the Queen of the 'Hood and the author of the bestselling Stephanie Plum novels. She lives in Florida now. Her partner -in-crime, at least for this new proposed series, is Dorien Kelly, current prez of the Romance Writers of America. Dorien lives in Michigan with one or more of her three children, two very spoiled West Highland White Terriers, and a handicapped Coonhound named Bubba. NOVELS
